Kim's Thoughts
Just a few thoughts I feel worthy of jotting down!
Found Along the Way in Iowa
I mentioned in my previous Iowa post that I put 700+ miles on my rental car. I covered a lot of ground while I was exploring all that the are of Iowa I stayed in had to offer. Here are some things that caught my eye and I felt worthy of pulling over (and sometimes turning around and going back) to get a photo!
I followed signs to a Pioneer Village and Little Brown Church — the pioneer village was closed and I couldn’t see much from the parking lot, but the little brown church was right beside the road and cute as a button! It is still used for church services. The sign above the door says “Little Brown Church in the Vale; Built 1860-64”
Saw and traveled down many long dirt roads!
I imagined Iowa would be a very flat state – like Kansas. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually has a lot of beautiful rolling hills……it wasn’t easy to get a photo that really showed that, but some of these posted here hint at it.
Stay tuned for more photos from Iowa!
…long dirt roads, my kind of country.
There were LOTS of them!
Love the little brown church. Did you know there is a song about it? Not sure but I think it’s called “Little brown Church in the Vale”
Yes – the song came to mind and I hummed it to myself when I saw it! 🙂
